Disneyland off property hotels

[pixeemom]

Hi all
this will be our VERY FIRST TRIP TO DL
we are more DW people....
so needless to say I am sooooo clueless when it comes to DL and resorts etc.

I am running out the door right now so I don't have too much time to read through the threads so PLEASE forgive me if there is a specific post I should be reading, but my question is;
What off site hotels do you recommend, for a family of 6 the youngest being 7yrs old

side note WE ARE DRIVING DOWN

Hi. We are driving down and a family of six. I've searched thru a lot of off site hotels, and made the decision to reserve the desert inn And suites. In a family suite. It has 4 queen beds and two bathrooms. Basically it is two adjoining rooms. It also has a small free continental breakfast. I hear some beds can be hard and the breakfast is lacking, but free food is free food. The total For 5 nights was $1065 (including taxes, resort and parking fees). I really wanted to stay on site, but it would cost at least $1600 more.
You should also check out the carousel inn, they have suites that I almost went with.
I haven't stayed at any of these places, so can't give reviews. Just what our family has decided on after research.
Good luck

Bummer!! Which one did you call? There is also the park vue inn and best western park place in I believe. The hotels I've mentioned are within walking distance, as that's one of my must haves for our trip. There are many more, others can probably tell you about, that are a little farther.
We are going in December and driving from Oregon

I am pretty sure I called the anaheim desert inn and suites, is there another?
best western is where we are staying now, i was just calling around for better prices but i guess we are doing well at the BW

Camelot also has suites...I think around $210 or so.

thank you i called them i have a ressie with them to but right now they only have 1 king bed suite with a pull out sofa, so i have to ask my hubby if he is willing to share the bed with two kids, lol so it would be 4 in the bed and two on the sofa bed

Did you ask about Max Occupancy for the room you reserved?
They may not allow 6 people in a room with 1 king and a sofa bed.
Best to check before you are checking in.

I didn't ask, but when i was speaking to the gentleman he was aware that i had a family of six and he said 3 can fit in the bed and 3 on the sofa bed but when i told my husband last night he said no he rather stay at the BW so I am going to cancel the ressie

We are a family of 4 and stayed at the Doubletree suites last Oct so we would have more space than a standard hotel room. Our room had 2 queen beds and a sleeper sofa, so I suppose that would accommodate 6 people. We paid $159 a night, no breakfast included and we didn't have a car. It's 1 mile to DL so we would walk or take the ART.

Thank you, it can't hurt to call and ask

The Tropicana (next door to the Best Western PPI) does as well. We have stayed in the regular rooms and really liked it. I am not sure what the occupancy is for the suites though.

I use TripAdvisor. You can select what is important to you (such as Suites). You can read reviews of the hotels, see pictures and there are links to the hotel websites.
